Manoir Mauvide-Genest
Manoir Mauvide-Genest Review
St-Jean's beautiful Normandy-style manor was built in 1734 for Jean Mauvide, surgeon to Louis XV, and his wife, Marie-Anne Genest. The most notable thing about this house, which still has its original thick walls, ceiling beams, and fireplaces, is the degree to which it has held up over the years. The house serves as an interpretation center of New France's seigneurial regime, with 18th-century furniture, a multimedia presentation, and tours with guides dressed in 18th-century costumes.
